Museum Archive: Vintage Eppinger Dardevle Dardevlet Klicker, 3/4oz Red / White / Brass fishing spoon #3778

Brass plating on the back of this 3/4 oz (21 g) spoon bears the iconic Eppinger manufacturing stamps that collectors look for. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm), the lure features a classic red and white striped enamel finish, accented by the recognizable black devil head logo centered on the white stripe. This specific "Klicker" model, product code 3778, is equipped with two small silver-finished sonic blades attached via split rings alongside the large treble hook at the trailing edge. These blades are a distinct addition to the traditional Dardevle shape, which Eppinger has been refining since Lou Eppinger began hand-making lures in Detroit back in 1906. The paint and brass finish are remarkably well-preserved, giving this piece a condition rating of 5/5.
